Short Bio

I am a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University. From 2010 to 2011, I visited the Computer Graphics and Visualization Lab at Purdue University as a visiting scholar and worked with Prof. Voicu Popescu. During the summer of 2006, I visited the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as a visiting scholar and worked with Prof. Long Quan. I received my PhD from Beihang University in 2005 under the supervision of Prof. Qinping Zhao. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Beihang University in 1999. During the summer of 2000, I was a visiting student at Microsoft Research Asia under the supervision of Prof. Stan Z. Li.
